Abstract
A method and apparatus for flushing a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) buffer in a wireless communication system is provided. A user equipment (UE) receives information on multiple resource pools from a network, selects a first resource pool among the multiple resource pools, and stores a media access control (MAC) protocol data unit (PDU) in the HARQ buffer for transmission via the first resource pool. When the UE reselects a second resource pool among the multiple resource pools, the UE flushes the HARQ buffer.
Claims15
A method for flushing a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) buffer by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
- receiving information on multiple resource pools from a network;
- selecting a first resource pool among the multiple resource pools;
- storing a media access control (MAC) protocol data unit (PDU) in the HARQ buffer for transmission via the first resource pool;
- reselecting a second resource pool among the multiple resource pools;
- and
- flushing the HARQ buffer.
A user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:
- a memory;
- a transceiver;
- and
- a processor, operably coupled to the memory and the transceiver, that:
- controls the transceiver to receive information on multiple resource pools from a network,
- selects a first resource pool among the multiple resource pools,
- stores a media access control (MAC) protocol data unit (PDU) in a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) buffer for transmission via the first resource pool,
- reselects a second resource pool among the multiple resource pools, and
- flushes the HARQ buffer.
